SUPERGIRL: First Photos of Melissa Benoist in Costume

The first photos of Glee and Whiplash star Melissa Benoist wearing her Supergirl costume have emerged from the upcoming CBS TV series, and the costume looks fairly traditional to me. I haven't read any Supergirl comics, so I'll be looking forward to diehard fans of the character weighing in with their own comments below, but I think this looks a lot better than the Wonder Woman costume from that failed pilot a couple of years ago.

It was designed by Colleen Atwood, the Oscar-winning costume designer who is familiar with superhero shows, having worked on both Arrow and The Flash. “In designing Supergirl, I wanted to embrace the past,” says Atwood, “but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today.”

What do you think about the new costume?
